BlackBerry Secret Codes UNleashed

Like I'll always say "there is no problem without a solution..!!!" nothing made by man can be ticked for perfection. Even the almighty blackberry has secret codes below are the listed Blackberry secret codes
The Blackberry secret codes for hidden menus work a bit differently to all other manufacturers since you don’t use the *#code# sequence but rather activate most of the codes by holding the ALT key. As always it is right to point out that these are not some magic Blackberry hacks just the codes to access the hidden menu systems which people commonly refer to as the Blackberry secret codes.

To use these codes you just have to enter the key sequence as specified.

SOME IMPORTANT USES OF BLACKBERRY DEVICE

The advanced encryption capabilities of the BlackBerry Smartphone make it eligible for use by government agencies and state forces alike. President Barack Obama's use The President of the United States, Barack Obama, became known for his dependence on a BlackBerry device for communication during his 2008 presidential campaign. Despite the security issues, he insisted on using it even after inauguration, becoming the first President of the United States to use mobile email.

 USE BY GOVERNMENT FORCES

 An example is the West Yorkshire Police, which has allowed the increase in the presence of police officers along the streets and a reduction in public spending, given that each officer could perform the work desk directly via the mobile device, as well as in several other areas and situations. 

The US Federal Government and Department of Defense are also prominent examples of BlackBerry device users, the latter agency even stating that the BlackBerry smartphone is "essential for national security" because of the large number of BlackBerry users in the government. The high encryption standard of BlackBerry smartphones and the PlayBook tablet allow them to be the only consumer handheld devices certified for use by US Government agencies.

ORGANIZED CRIME USE

The Italian criminal group known as the 'Ndrangheta was reported on February 2009 to have communicated overseas with the Gulf Cartel, a Mexican drug cartel, through the use of the BlackBerry, since the texts are "normally difficult to intercept". RIM's view of users RIM CEO Thorsten Heins has said that BlackBerry users have "Very little time to consume and enjoy content" and so do not need  the third party apps that Android and Apple users enjoy.

 USE BY BANGALORE TRAFFIC POLICE

Traffic Police in the Southern Indian city of Bangalore have begun using Blackberry devices to print e-receipt or e-challan for traffic offences. These are also used to store the details of booked cases in server. These devices are also used to retrieve the license information from server. 

HISTORY OF BLACKBERRY

The first BlackBerry device, the 850, was introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager in Munich, Germany. The reason for the monumental growth of BlackBerry is explainable because in 1999 it was little more than a mobile pager. It did integrate with existing enterprise email, though most consumers didn’t really have a need for a mobile email device. Cell phones in general weren’t even big in the consumer market at that point, so the need for a wireless PDA was expectedly lacking. But it did provide corporate data access, an organizer, calendar, paging, and wireless Internet, so it was of great use to businesses who wanted a more mobile workforce. After the launch 1999, in November 2004 RIM announced that there were over 2 million subscribers worldwide, it rose to 5 million in 2005 after 9 months it rose to 14 million subscribers and as of October 2011, there were seventy million subscribers worldwide to BlackBerry which has now risen enormously to over a hundred million subscribers in 2012. BlackBerry devices support a large variety of instant messaging features, with the most popular being the unique BlackBerry Messenger  service. BlackBerry accounts for 7.2% of mobile device sales worldwide in 2012, making its manufacturer Research In Motion (RIM) the fourth most popular device maker (25% of mobile device sales are smartphones) after the likes of the top:

1.       South Korea Samsung 25.4%

2.       Finland Nokia 22.5%

3.       Canada BlackBerry 10.2%

4.       United State Apple Inc 9.5%

5.       United State Motorola 6%

6.       South Korea LG 5.2%

The consumer BlackBerry Internet Service is available in 91 countries worldwide on over 500 mobile service operators using various mobile technologies.
